By on

The bad actors in this affair are easy to find and condemn – The Conspirators to Murder, the Sex Traffickers, the Corrupt Bureaucrats. There is, or I hope there is, no argument that these people have committed a crime and should be punished.  I have a bit more difficulty regarding the increasingly annoying excuses coming from the innocent bystanders however.  I didn’t know anything about what Epstein was doing. Which OK maybe you can say that if you never visited the island but anyone who had, give me a break. It was known by some people as Pedophile Island. When you are attending a party on said island, and you see a lot of teen girls running about, you might put 2 and 2 together. Apparently, though, I am wrong.  A lot of the best and brightest minds were simply unable to make this connection.

If nothing else, these bright minds showed incredibly poor judgement. The men who run our country were thrown for a loop when a bunch of sexually available teen aged girls attend a party. Some of these bright bulbs succumbed to this temptation which speaks volumes about them. What are you supposed to do when a nubile girl appears at your bedroom door? You wouldn’t want to insult your host by leaving her out in the cold, now would you?  

But the people who just ignored what was going on and just enjoyed the party without taking advantage of the human party favors, what about them?  I didn’t know what Epstein was doing isn’t a particularly reassuring stand to take when you turned your head to avoid witnessing a crime in progress. Did they really think that these girls were capable of making an adult decision about prostituting themselves? Did none of these people have teenage daughters? And these people were just regular Joes and Janes off the street.  These were powerful people. People who make a difference.  People who could have made Epstein’s life difficult if they wanted to act.  Yet, they decided to let the party go on, indifferent to the girls and not wanting to offend their host.

But the cowards are better than the people who still cling to the notion that they didn’t see anything at all. If you really and truly believe this, I have to say you are unfit for any public office much less the highest levels of government.  If you couldn’t figure out what Epstein was so obviously doing then I would say your cognitive facilities are pretty useless.  I tremble at the thought of you working with a person like Putin or the Chinese government or the Taliban. And as a lie, it simply makes you look stupid. It is so blatantly a lie that you look worse for repeating it than just refusing to talk about it. At least if you refuse to talk about there is that air of ambiguity about it.  People might suspect you of being a little fast and loose with the truth but you still have their faith that you are a sentient human being.

Which brings me to Bill Clinton.  I used to like Bill Clinton.  I voted for him twice and, if it were possible for the Democrats to nominate him, I would do so again. Nonetheless his behavior with Epstein is beyond disappointing. What exactly did he think about the girls? His wife wasn’t with him. The island has a reputation. You think that he might have been just a wee bit suspicious. Clinton is known to be smart. People actually talk about him being smart. Yet he happily RSVP’d for Epstein’s party on Pedophile Island. Did he not question why a billionaire might be inviting him to an island with the reputation for orgies with teen girls? Did he check the room for cameras? Did he have any suspicious that Epstein might be putting him in a compromising position? Clinton has two eyes. He isn’t naïve. And he, in fact, was the father of a teen-aged girl. Which means that he turned a blind eye to it. He apparently didn’t feel he had the power to take on someone like Jeffrey Epstein or Epstein had something on him or he felt he was above it all and rich men have the right to sexually abuse teen-aged girls. None of these speak highly of his character.

I didn’t know what was going on Epstein’s island. That is the story they are telling and, so far, they are getting away with it. Rich and powerful people would rather go to Epstein’s parties than cause a scene which might save some teen-aged girls from prostitution.  Which is sad.  I feel trapped in a very bad marriage. I cannot vote Republican because they are bat shit crazy. I want to keep power out of their hands. Which leaves me with morally bankrupt people like Bill Clinton. I can’t, in good conscience, ever vote Republican, so what is a responsible citizen to do? On the bright side,  I am going into with open eyes and very low expectations. There is something to be said for that.

By on

If nothing else, Jeffrey Epstein’s death has uncovered the pervasive rot in American society. Unfortunately for him, he was a person so loathsome that nobody really cares if he committed suicide or was murdered.  He deserved to die.  Most people are happy to have him dead, buried and forgotten.

The problem is that the man had evidence which could implicate leaders of the Democratic Party, the leaders of the Republican Party, the British Royal Family and Captains of Industry. Very important people were in the crosshairs of the cops and the American government failed to protect their prime witness in a high security prison no less.  Every fail-safe procedure available in such circumstances failed. A man on a suicide watch commits suicide. The technology failed. The staff failed. And Jeffery Epstein decides on this day when all the fail-safes were failing to commit suicide. A remarkable coincidence, don’t you think?

Any half way sentient being would find this a little difficult to believe. Yet, this is what we were told and this is the answer we are letting the powers that be get away with. I was really offended that a better explanation wasn’t provided. I mean come on. Really. This is your explanation. Nobody believes it. And I mean nobody. It is an insult to the American Public that it is being offered as the definite result of an extensive investigation.  

Then it slowly dawned on me that this wasn’t about giving a somewhat believable explanation about what happened, they don’t care if anyone believes their story. The powers that be saw a bigger problem.  They wanted to warn people away from investigating Epstein’s death. If you want to find out what happened to Epstein, you are putting your life into danger. We killed once and do you really want to take a chance that we won’t kill again?  You have been warned. I don’t know about anyone else but message received.

You can tell it was important to the powers that be because it took staggering levels of corruption to pull this hit off. A billionaire just doesn’t die in prison without a lot of buy in from powerful people. I imagine a group of men in a gentlemen’s club, smoking cigars and drinking fine whiskey,  passing the hat around to get enough money to deal with the Epstein problem.  Nice guy, great parties but we can’t take a chance with the old scoundrel, every one pony up $100,000 and we can give the old boy the send-off he deserves.

Two low level prison employees have taken the fall although it beggars belief that these two were the only ones involved. The right person had to get into the prison. The right people had to be guarding. The right tech people had to turn off the right equipment.  Money men and lawyers had to move money to the right people so that the right strings were pulled. A lot of people, up and down the food chain, were involved in ensuring Epstein met his fate. But since it didn’t really matter that anyone believed what happened or, God forbid, take responsibility for what happened, the two prison guards supplied enough rolling heads to finish off the story.

After seeing this crime spree from our social betters, I find it particularly irksome that Americans still cling to the notion that the rich are good stewards of money. They are, quite obviously, not. Think about the cash it took for Epstein to create his pedophile island, find underage women to fly over to his island, fly over his guests so they could partake in the amusements pedophile island had to offer.  Think of the money spent by Epstein to defend his crimes in court.  Think of the money spent by Epstein’s friends to silence him. As far as I am concerned, we would all be better off if the government taxed Epstein and his ilk and the money received was spent giving every skid row bum in the USA a six pack of beer and a pack of cigarettes. Perhaps some girls would have been saved from the indignity of becoming prostitutes for the world’s power elite.
